Early 2026 Fantasy Football Landscape Shaken Up by Offseason Moves, Injuries, and Dynasty Risers
Published 1 day, 20 hours ago
Description
In the last few days, fantasy football buzz has shifted from the end of the 2025 season to early 2026 offseason rankings, injuries, and dynasty risers, shaking up draft strategies for listeners planning ahead. FantasyPros experts on their January 15 podcast tackled 15 burning questions, like what to do with Emeka Egbuka after his odd rookie year, whether Shedeur Sanders starts Week 1 for the Browns—Fitz says likely yes due to cap issues, though Deshaun Watson lingers as a wild card—and if Malik Willis fits the Colts perfectly with their cap space and Shane Steichen's scheme.
Trevor Lawrence's late surge, fueled by nine rushing TDs, has him slotted as QB9 to QB12 by analysts, but beware volatility if ADP inflates him higher. George Pickens could thrive if Dallas tags him to pair with Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb, boosting his WR1 upside despite weekly risks. Breece Hall's future looks dim with the Jets; top landing spots include Washington, Houston, or Arizona, per the pod.
Injuries dominated Week 18 reports from Draft Sharks and ESPN: Lamar Jackson nursed a painful back contusion and hamstring woes, limiting his running and deep throws even upon return. Breece Hall sat questionable with a knee issue, paving way for Khalil Herbert. Omarion Hampton was ruled out for the Chargers with an ankle tweak, while Kimani Vidal was iffy with neck problems. RBs like Javonte Williams dealt with a shoulder stinger, and TEs Harold Fannin aggravated a groin strain.
Dynasty leagues see risers like De’Von Achane, who exploded for 1,838 yards and 12 TDs on 305 touches in Miami's late surge, earning his first Pro Bowl nod per Sports Illustrated. ESPN's Mike Clay dropped fresh PPR rankings on January 5, with Fantasy Football Today on YouTube unveiling a way-too-early top 12 overall amid coaching changes.
These moves create buy-lows like Justin Jefferson if Minnesota bolsters QB depth, and debates on R.J. Harvey as Denver's RB1 under Sean Payton. Listeners, stay tuned as ADP firms up—volatility means edges in January.
